Abstract:

One of many challenges that wind power faces while integrating into the existing network is the inherent decoupling between its development time (e.g., a couple of years) compared to that of traditional transmission solutions which may span into decades Grid Enhancing Technologies, such as Static Synchronous Series Compensators (SSSC), offer the possibility to re-couple the timeframes by unlocking unused spare capacity, however, the availability of such devices within commercial electrical simulators is scarce or even non-existent Moreover, detailed vendor models are specific to the incumbent Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and might not be the best approach during the early necessary assessment stage. This fact ends up imposing another burden on the transmission network planners which sometimes discourages them from including such technologies in their solution portfolio The following paper presents the results of the development methodology for a generic SSSC applied on the DIgSILENT PowerFactory simulator. The methodology was jointly elaborated by a TSO and an OEM, and can be expanded to include other commercial simulators (e.g., INTEGRAL, PSLF) since it's based upon test driven development and equations derived from fundamental AC circuit theory The main result of this work is an integrated model for the SSSC on the DIgSILENT PowerFactory simulator; still some features were also ported to the INTEGRAL simulator. This model is useful for representing such devices on both steady state and dynamic RMS simulations.
